Lessons learned defying Joel Spolsky with Django

I've found Django forms to work extremely well for validating non-form-based data - the API is a neat way of representing a set of validation rules and running them against a set of data.

Hi Simon - I greatly appreciate your work and opinion! The reason I think HTML forms libraries are insufficient for the problem domain: JSON is richer, both in datatypes and structure. We’re working on a forms library of sorts that is better suited for API serialization/validation and having one central place to define models for multiple internal DB’s.
